it is a basic principle in law that you are innocent untill proven guilty and it's the investigation that proves innocence or guilt
on the subject of this thread my opinion has changed somewhat since my first post .I think the police have enough powers under the PACE laws for stop and search when the country isn't at high alert like now .For the metropolitan force to continually use the anti terror law in the way they have is wrong imo and shows a willingness to totaly ignore the spirit of a law that is only meant to be used on rare occasions and for terrorists not every tom dick or harry walking down the street
